Zachary Quinto Talks Psychological Dynamics of 'The Slap'

Zachary Quinto answers questions on stage during an AOL BUILD Speaker Series held at AOL Studios on Thursday (February 19) in New York City.

The 37-year-old actor opened up about his new NBC show The Slap.

“The interesting thing is it’s not really about the slap, and all of these characters come to the table with a tremendous amount of internal conflict and struggle about different aspects of their lives and relationships,” Zachary recently said (via The Washington Post). “The Slap” is just this codifying incident that puts all of that into clear relief, and so I think all of us were more interested in the psychological dynamics that are going on outside of the incident of the actual slap.”
